WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.640 - Today's the day. It's actually happening. 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:06.680 In fact, it already happened. Well, isn't that cool? 00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:12.030 I've never seen anything like it. - [Man] What happened? What what? - Hey, want some tech tips? - [man] what happened? 00:00:12.030 --> 00:00:15.150 - NVIDIA launched the RTX 3060 graphics card yesterday, 00:00:15.150 --> 00:00:19.110 and by launched, I mean, shuffled a few boxes 00:00:19.110 --> 00:00:24.980 through their doggy door, where they were promptly set upon and devoured by the starving hoards of gamers. 00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:28.480 Of course, it's no surprise that the cards sold out almost immediately 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:33.930 given the ongoing stock shortage which is a shame since it's actually a decent mid-range card 00:00:33.930 --> 00:00:39.450 and a worthy successor to the GTX 1060. As I said in the full review, online at tech tips. 00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:42.730 Newegg is now raffling off chances to buy cards, 00:00:42.730 --> 00:00:45.910 which is just bonkers. - [Man] But overall 00:00:45.910 --> 00:00:50.430 But overall. It seems like invidious plan to cripple the 3060s mining power 00:00:50.430 --> 00:00:53.660 and introduce mining specific cards down the line. 00:00:53.660 --> 00:00:57.440 Didn't do basically Jack all for availability. 00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:02.278 However, according to a new leak NVIDIA's first two mining cards, the CMP 38 checks 00:01:02.278 --> 00:01:08.280 and 48 checks appear to be based off of Turing 12 nanometer GPUs 00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.490 instead of ampere eight nanometer GPUs, 00:01:12.490 --> 00:01:18.511 which is of course what the RTX three series is built on. So maybe they do have our best interests 00:01:18.511 --> 00:01:22.390 in mind after all. Stay tuned for later in the year 00:01:22.390 --> 00:01:25.470 when we find out that the 50 X is built 00:01:25.470 --> 00:01:31.575 on ampere and NVIDIA stole eight nanometers GPUs from the RTX division to make them ha ha or maybe not 00:01:31.575 --> 00:01:34.850 but maybe they will, - [man] Oh but I'll definitely make a video about it. 00:01:34.850 --> 00:01:38.710 A judge has ordered Valve to comply really? - [man] Ha ha ha 00:01:38.710 --> 00:01:42.830 That's so stupid. - [man] Oh I love it A judge has ordered valve to comply 00:01:42.830 --> 00:01:46.340 with Apple's subpoena asking for steam game sales data 00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:49.400 after Valve initially refused to provide it. 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:55.710 But then instead of submitting data from as early as 2015 Valve will only have to go back to 2017 00:01:55.710 --> 00:01:58.780 with the judge remarking that Apple has salted the earth 00:01:58.780 --> 00:02:02.930 with subpoenas in its quest to repel attacks from Epic games 00:02:02.930 --> 00:02:07.540 over the iOS apple stores, monopolistic practices. - [man] You get some dinner, you get us some dinner 00:02:07.540 --> 00:02:11.440 - Thanks for that. Apple says that their request is perfectly reasonable. 00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:16.330 I mean, they only asked for data on 436 games instead of 00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:20.850 30,000 Steam Games. They totally could have done that. 00:02:20.850 --> 00:02:25.270 So you should be grateful. Valve, Valve apparently has until mid-March 00:02:25.270 --> 00:02:30.370 to comply with the order or else the company's conflict will be decided with a one V one 00:02:30.370 --> 00:02:35.370 between Team Apple and gave in, in that's right, there on it 00:02:35.490 --> 00:02:40.160 - [man] Neutral ground. - And the semiconductor shortage affecting every product that uses chips, 00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:43.391 which is basically every product is reportedly 00:02:43.391 --> 00:02:49.170 going to get worse. Thanks in part to another type of shortage in Taiwan. 00:02:49.170 --> 00:02:52.260 The country is experiencing a massive drought, 00:02:52.260 --> 00:02:55.390 so chip makers like tsmc are buying truckloads 00:02:55.390 --> 00:02:59.820 of water in an attempt to get out ahead of the national water supply restrictions, 00:02:59.820 --> 00:03:05.513 so they can continue production. Because you see, their plants run on hydrogen fuel cells. 00:03:05.513 --> 00:03:11.220 - [man] Wow, - Wow, just kidding, the people who work there need to drink water ha ha 00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:16.650 and also you need water for other stuff for manufacturing. Anyway, aside from that, market analysts believe 00:03:16.650 --> 00:03:22.800 that it will take three or four quarters. So a year before semiconductor supply meets demand. 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.310 The situation is so bad that US president Joe Biden signed an executive order this week 00:03:27.310 --> 00:03:32.400 launching a review of the supply chain, and committing $37 billion 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.149 to addressing the chip bottleneck, right? I mean, we're a little late there, Joe 00:03:36.149 --> 00:03:41.010 - [man] Yeah - where was the executive order a year ago where he's getting rid of the tariffs, but 00:03:41.010 --> 00:03:44.900 - [man] Yeah - whatever, sup Riley 00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:50.640 - now it's time for quick bits brought to you by Dr. Fone, the seamless way to move your chat app message history 00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:55.100 between iOS and Android devices.

Hey, did you ever hear of BitQuicks - [man] Woo 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:28.500 - Bloomberg and Wired have both published deep dives into just what the heck happened to Stadia? 00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:34.530 Well, it turns out despite a lot of big talk the service received drastically lower sales than expected, 00:04:34.530 --> 00:04:39.510 and spent tens of millions of dollars per title, really? 00:04:39.510 --> 00:04:43.526 just to port major games from publishers like Ubisoft and Take-Two. 00:04:43.526 --> 00:04:48.230 Stadia's leaders were presumably shocked that such a strategy could lead to overspending. 00:04:48.230 --> 00:04:52.294 But I mean, I don't know what were they supposed to do with that money pay news publishers 00:04:52.294 --> 00:04:57.350 - [man] Hey - Australia has gone ahead and passed legislation designed to force Google 00:04:57.350 --> 00:05:02.119 and Facebook to pay for links to news articles, even after the two tech giants spent the last two 00:05:02.119 --> 00:05:05.210 weeks frantically making deals with publishers. 00:05:05.210 --> 00:05:09.980 The law is a bit Tamer than its original version. Now giving tech companies a longer window 00:05:09.980 --> 00:05:13.560 of time to make such deals before being forced into arbitration. 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.383 But, it's there now. So let's just hope 00:05:17.383 --> 00:05:21.553 that Google doesn't make the Koch brothers, Is that really how you pronounce this Ko Koch? 00:05:21.553 --> 00:05:25.010 I'm going to go with Koch brothers. Let's hope it doesn't make them go out 00:05:25.010 --> 00:05:29.480 of business when they suddenly realized this is costing a lot of money, which I, yeah 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.620 but I guess would be fine. Cyberpunk 2077 won't be getting its next update 00:05:33.620 --> 00:05:37.440 until mid-March, thanks to the notorious ransomware hack that struck developers 00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:41.900 CD PROJEKTRED. The companies developers are reportedly, still locked 00:05:41.900 --> 00:05:47.030 out of their workstations. Oh no, we can't run good heavens because the hack 00:05:47.030 --> 00:05:50.565 which makes well, patching to gain a little Trixie 00:05:50.565 --> 00:05:53.650 - [man] Have you tried? - Although the source code might actually be out 00:05:53.650 --> 00:05:57.560 there somewhere on the internet. So maybe the, maybe the devs could like hack it back 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.684 from the hackers hack exception. And Twitter announced that they're testing 00:06:01.684 --> 00:06:05.080 a community's feature similar to Facebook groups, 00:06:05.080 --> 00:06:09.445 as well as other features that could help monetize the social platform including tipping options 00:06:09.445 --> 00:06:13.250 and super follows 00:06:13.250 --> 00:06:17.093 Which would give paid subscribers access to special super tweets, 00:06:18.380 --> 00:06:21.549 from it's coming. Super tweeters 00:06:21.549 --> 00:06:25.200 - [man] There it is - Question though, I mean, would any of you pay 00:06:25.200 --> 00:06:28.848 for photos of me with it like (smooth music) half of my clothing removed? 00:06:28.848 --> 00:06:32.074 - [man] Oh no - Hey hey don't don't tell anybody 00:06:32.074 --> 00:06:37.360 - [man] No - it's only for the fans. - [man] Yeah it is superman. And Facebook's portal device as well 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:40.380 as the Oculus Quest too will soon respond to the phrase 00:06:40.380 --> 00:06:43.800 hey, Facebook and execute voice commands. 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.950 Oh, goodie. Um, how about this? 00:06:46.950 --> 00:06:50.283 Hey, Facebook, let Oculus go, let them go, 00:06:50.283 --> 00:06:53.485 Oculus if you're in their blink twice. 00:06:53.485 --> 00:06:56.690 - [man] Oh you're a good singer - Hey Facebook, if you're listening 00:06:56.690 --> 00:07:00.520 this episode is over by the way. So we'll come back on Friday for more tech news. 00:07:00.520 --> 00:07:03.640 The rest of you. Hey, you're not Facebook. Go celebrate. 00:07:03.640 --> 00:07:05.919 - [man] Hey you're not Facebook - Woo - [man] Okay
